Dear Beta Tester,
We’re proud to announce what is scheduled to be the final beta (3) release of Endpoint Security Manager 2.0 Business Edition (2.0.41025.4) along with the latest version of Comodo Internet Security 5.8/2012 available for immediate download. To join the ESM Beta Force, complete the following form and tell us about your test environment at: http://enterprise.comodo.com/security-solutions/endpoint-security/endpoint-security-manager/beta-form.php . You will receive a License Key to use with the software (look for it in the 2.0 beta section of the confirmation email you receive).
BETA NOTICE: This is BETA software and may have serious bugs which can cause permanent damage to your computer and data. It is intended for qualified beta testers only and must not be used in production systems.
There have been a number of improvements in this release, please see the release notes (found in the installation directory) for the latest features (items 7-12) and limitations in this release. If you should have any trouble activating your license on this version, please email us at esmbeta[at]comodo.com for assistance.
For current ESM 1.6 users wanting to test ESM 2.0 in their environment on test workstations, there’s also instructions in the release notes for upgrading (while maintaining your ESM 1.6 server).

Please note! This version of Beta 3 includes the 2131 build of CIS, although it identifies itself internally as 2124 - and we similarly named the files below to match. We apologize for the confusion, and this will be rectified in future builds. You can confirm version 2131 through About in the CIS interface itself.
